Germanicus (senator)

Germanicus was a Roman senator. Germanicus supported Mark Antony during the power struggle between Octavian and Antony, saying that Octavian was only "Caesar" so long as Antony stayed distant from Rome. He then humorously called on Antony not to stay too long in Alexandria, meeting the laughter of the pro-Antony senators, and Octavian responded by saying that Germanicus should not stay too long in Rome, insulting Germanicus and leading to him heading to Alexandria, Egypt himself. Germanicus failed to convince Antony to return to Rome, but Antony refused to see the senator, as he wanted to stay in Alexandria with Cleopatra.
